Helo again! UH... Don't ask. I'm high on sugar a the moment...
Jareth is once again telling the story of how Sarah lost (or won?;D) and became Queen. You know, no child to rescue? No real encouragementXD.
Enjoy!
''How did Sarah become the Goblin Queen? Easy. She let out one alleviating breath after hours running through the Labyrinth - I'm sure you all remember the Labyrinth Queen Challenge - and screamed loud enough so the King heard. 'Okay, you win. I do love you!' ''
''And?'' The group of goblins chanted all at once.
Jareth sighed. ''And? You've heard this story so repeatedly that i find myself missing fingers to count! Why don't you finish the tale instead? You must have memorized it by now.''
They all looked oddly at each other and then one eager participant raised his hand. ''Can i do it?''
''Sure.'' Jareth encouraged.
Clearing his throat, the young subject rose to his feet and narrated with a dulcent voice. ''And then the Goblin King appeared and held her and kissed her and they both kissed and she said: 'Oh, Jareth! I love you so much.' ''
Jareth grimaced at the shrilly sound of the poor imitation of Sarah's voice.
''And then the Kind said: 'Oh, Sarah you kiss so good. Love me long time, sugar. ''
And why wasn't Jareth's voice different from the mimicking of Sarah's?
''And they kept kissing and kissing and kissing and kissing and french kissing and-''
''I think you've made your point.'' Jareth groused.
''But that's the best part!'' The crowd chorused.
''Yup,'' The unofficial narrator cheered. ''We think it's best if it's prolonged.''
''Prolonged? Mind telling me who's been teaching you big words?'' The King kept secure that no subject would ever dare go against him if they didn't know how. So they were taught limited language.
And that's when Sarah appeared, innocuously humming to herself a romantic tune very well-known by everyone. She sang it almost on a daily basis. When she saw the evil glint in her husband's eye she chose that moment to flash a dark glare of her own to the snitches who told on her.
Before running she had a chance to - lamely - excuse herself. ''They gave me chocolate!''
That's it. Chocolate was banned. Along with all the other Aboveground candy that coudl be used as bribery.
